There are some really good Horror films, but for me they have to be a little more cerebral.
For instance, while it wasnt a movie, I loved 'Midnight Mass.'

A lot of media these days is pretty bland. The dialogue, the subject matter, even the color palate. People want content that will actually stir emotions and provoke thought. Horror is doing a great job of that. You have the typical gore and body gore fests, but also movies that make you think a little.
The genre has attracted a lot of the more thought provoking writers and directors.
